California Poets in the Schools
(CPITS) in collaboration with the San Francisco Public Library, and funded by
the Walter and Elise Haas Fund and the California Arts Council, is hosting readings
and workshops to celebrate April as National Poetry Month.

Poetry writing workshops are for
children and teens. The book-making workshops are for children (ages 7 and up), parents, and teens. The poetry readings
will feature student poets from grades K-12 who have participated in California Poets in the Schools writing sessions in their classrooms.

California Poets in the Schools, the largest writer-in-the-schools program of its kind in the country, is in its
46th year of sending professional published writers into classrooms, libraries, juvenile halls, and hospital programs to help California students recognize and celebrate their own creativity and intellectual curiosity through the creative writing process.
